Do beta blockers reduce pvc/pac or do they just make them less noticeable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually beta: blockers may aggravate as well as reduce PAC's PVC's as "escape" phenomena with very low heart rates....They reduce PVC's/APC's in faster heart rates. They also have a "calming effect" on anxiety surrounding these "palpitations" Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Do beta blockers help with occasional pvcs and pacs?
I have benign, frequent PACS/PVCS. Have tried several beta blockers. Currently deciding between bisopropol or bystolic (nebivolol). Which would be most effective ?
30 day event monitor shows completely normal except I have moderate amount of pvcs and pacs. Echo norm. And cta norm. Beta blockers for treatment?
Cardio doesn't think my palps/pacs/pvcs are related to my mild MR, he thinks stress. So it's prob just a coincidence that I have both? Extra beats go away for weeks then come back, if it was the MR causing them then it prob wouldn't go away right?
What do PVCS or PACs feel like? it just says skipped beat but not sure what that feels like. I get this sensation where its a thud and my whole chest gets squeezed for a second. It doesnt feel like an extra beat just a big thud with sinus rhythm?
